NAS for home/small business - Enquiries - 02-02-2024
Hi NAS Experts,
To begin with, I would like to say that I appreciate your work that you put in recognizing storage solutions available on the market.
I run a one-person business from home. I have 2 servers (not rack) with proxmox installed. I would like to purchase a file server that would allow me to move the machines to it and benefit from them via LAN on both servers (shared storage, vmotion, etc.).
I've looked at a lot of your videos (and not only yours) and I don't know what to decide on.
What I have:
- proxmox servers with nvme/SSD drives
- 1G/2.5G network appliances expandable to 10G.
What I need:
- a fast iSCSI/NFS volume - a reliable device that will allow running virtual machines (preferably it should support NVME disks)
- a large iSCSI/NFS volume - data storage.
- network ports min. 2x 2.5Gbps
I don't care about any additional functionality beyond network resources.
Thank you in advance and best regards to your team.
